[Dm] _ parents knew [C] these people who [Dm] For all their faults [G] were very nice
[Dm] They owned a farm [C] whose old world charm [Ab] Earned it the name [Am] of paradise
[Dm] We came to stay, [C] one hollered babe [Dm] We played croquet [G] and burned our arms
But [Dm] I was charmed [C] and lost for words [E] When first I heard [Am] the birds of [Dm]
paradise farm
Singing [Em] gay songs all the day [Dm] long Making love [G] to the dinner [Dm] gone
Wondering [Em] when their human [E] friends Would come to [Am] feed them
I [Dm] looked in the trees [G] and in the air [Dm] I searched the eaves [G] of disused barns
[Dm] Till finally [C] to my despair [E] I found the caged [Am] birds in [Dm]
paradise farms
Singing gay [Em] songs all the [Dm] day long Making love [G] to the dinner [F] gone
Wondering [Em] why their tiny [E] lives Should be spent [Am] behind iron [D] _ _ bars
[G] _ [E] Now Leonardo [Am] da Vinci, Saint [F] Francis of Assisi [D] But Neil Hannon of the [G] sea house, [E] 5 mile town
[Am] Well it doesn't sound [A] quite right _ [Dm] somehow

_ Singing gay [Em] songs all summer [Dm] long Making love [G] to the dinner [F] gone
[Dm] Wondering [Em] when their human [E] friends Would come to [F] free them
When [Dm] the last day came [C] I took my time, [F] they called my name
[G] And revved the car [F]
when nature calls [Dm] You [G] must reply, they laughed
_ Waving [Am] goodbye to [D] paradise [E] farm
